KKK Advertises for Members Near The Hamptons
The Ku Klux Klan has been advertising for new members on a few streets in Hampton Bays, New York, on the edge of The Hamptons, putting Jolly Rancher candies in plastic sandwich bags with anti-gay, anti-immigrant leaflets calling on people to protect “our unique European (White) culture” and tossing them into yards. One resident shared a leaflet with the media. It had a crude cartoon drawing of a Jew, an African-American and a Latino above the words: “We want your jobs — We want your homes — We want your country.” The resident was Colombian-American.
Harvard Business Profs: How U.S. Should Tax Businesses
Harvard Business School professors Mihir Desai and Bill George lay out interesting changes that could help the US gain an advantage from a tax standpoint. They note that the US should move to a territorial tax system rather than a world-wide system (the UK and Japan recently made such moves). To offset the decreased revenues they propose taxing flow-through entities (partnerships and S-Corps), as well as their owners. The second source of revenue would come from changing the fact that corporations report large profits to the capital markets and relatively small profits to tax authorities – meaning, we make it more the case that corporations have to base their taxes on profit reports to capital markets.
